I'm trying to fill an Oberon-07 array variable inside a program and, after program termination, dumping back the array from the PC. The array is defined as: VAR shared: ARRAY 32 OF BYTE; and filled in the init body as: FOR i := 0 TO 15 DO shared := i END; where I also print the physical addresses as...

Perfect!
I'm able to load programs with a plain copy to the USB drive and run then using st-link_cli -rst
I mostly use the Astrobe IDE to do this, but I needed a way to handle some batch scenarios.

I would like to know, possibly, which are the commands /mechanisms internally invoked by Astrobe IDE for the Nucleo boards in order to carry out the following two actions: 1) transfer a binary image from PC to target flash memory 2) run the program previously stored in flash For custom purposes, com...

Thanks, will surely take it in consideration for future usage.

It's not clear if it is possible to assign a procedure to a user-defined trap number. I tried to do something like: PROCEDURE MyTrapper; BEGIN Out.String("MY TRAPPER"); Out.Ln END MyTrapper; ... Traps.ShowRegs(FALSE); (* simplified trap log *) Traps.Assign(100, MyTrapper); ASSERT(FALSE, 100); ... bu...

Thanks a lot, great help from you as usual.

I have take a quick look at the HCFiler for Cortex M3. It looks very appealing in bare-metal applications needing to store data on persistent storage (e.g. from long duration tests). Should I expect big difficulties in adapting such code to run on Nucleo F767ZI (Cortex M7) ? Is there already a plan ...

There's a strange behavior in my environment (Cortex M7). Let try the following test. It takes 5 seconds whatever the CPU clock. I also performed a HW reset before each run with different clock. Maybe I'm missing something... MODULE SpeedTest; IMPORT Main, LinkOptions, Out, Clock; VAR i, x, secs: IN...

The Cortex M7 used in the STM32 MCU has a six-stage dual-issue pipeline.
So I guess that that loop is executed faster than expected for such reason.

Thanks for all the info on timing.

How much precise is the Timers.Delay() in terms of the generated wait interval when using a timer initialized with Timers.uSec as unit? Also, is there a way (by other means) to generate a specific delay below 1 us ? I can guess something like a FOR loop with EMIT passing a NOP instruction... (clearl...
